I have been trying to deploy an EAR that uses a class to launch the application. The class is configured in web.xml as a listener. When the application starts, I get ClassNotFoundException.

I have taken apart the ear file to find the class residing in one of the ear lib jar files. If I copy the lib file down to the war file lib directory level, there is no problem, except for the ensuing onslaught of additional classes not found due to dependency problems.

I would like to try and resolve it without having to rearrange the EAR file, and I'm hoping its just a configuration problem.

I'm using JBoss 3.2.6.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
